I’m so surprised you haven’t read anything by Seanan McGuire! I feel like you would love some of her books. I love the idea of clearing the mental space as well as the physical!

I know I'm behind the game. I'm debating waiting to just binge the Wayward Children series all at once when all of them are published. I think I'm going to love them!

That copy of The Final Strife is to die for!! I have a lot on one of my wish lists that I have no idea where they came from. Luckily it's not a list anyone else can see so I won't accidentally acquire them. Not that people buy me books generally but even so I wouldn't risk it. I quite like having a space to put all my random adds... they eventually get added to a list I would buy/pick up from the library from or get deleted.

I think that is smart to have a place to put your thoughts on what you may or may not want to add to your collection. It allows you to really think about it before purchasing anything and I find lists like that helpful when people ask me about birthday presents and what not.

I felt exactly the same about the ending of Midnight Library!

I'm glad I'm not alone. I've always heard such good things so I just never brought it up before, but I just think it had so much potential.

I’m planning on doing something similar soon and this video is really motivating me!!

i loved raybearer and the final strife sounded similar but i had to bow out in the prologue

They do have a similar premise, but I didn't find them similar at all. I loved Raybearer!

Must be the spring cleaning season vibe - I cleared my Goodreads and library tbrs earlier this week. I have been moving into some different book interests lately, so am not as interested in some previously saved books.

Woohoo!🥳 I love to hear it! It can be refreshing to clean out the old ... mainly just to make room for the new.🤣 It is interesting how our reading taste evolve.

I’m sure I have some books on my Goodreads want to read that I can get rid of. I have heard so many mixed reviews on The Midnight Library. I’ve had it on my shelves for years. I’ve read 3 or 4 Wayward Children books and I think they’re really fun. I didn’t care for The Cabin at the End of the World either. I’ve heard Head Full of Ghosts is good 🤷🏼‍♀️

Ya, I would say skip The Midnight Library. There are better books out there.🤣 Good to know about Wayward Children. I think they look intriguing and perhaps will be light fast reads. I'll keep Head Full of Ghosts in my pocket for when I go to pick Tremblay up again. Thanks!

I also liked Shadows Between Us but didnt feel the need to continue with Daughter of a Pirate King

It was a little lack luster for me, but you can't win them all I suppose!

I agree with The Final Strife - I read it for a book club but would have dnf’d otherwise. The tone just wasn’t for me. I likely have some books on my TBR that I’ll give a try but will probably be dnfs because I bought them before I discovered booktube. I understand my reading taste a lot better now so books I’ve added more recently have a higher‘success rate’.

Ya, I wish it would've worked as I really enjoyed the premise. That is one of the many things I have learned to love about Booktube. I do think that it is more rare for me to pick books I absolutely dislike now that it used to be. I also am quicker to DNF books now than I used to be.

witch king is now an standalone but an author i follow on twitter is insinuating that it will be a series

Interesting, especially since I haven't heard great things. Well I hope that as the series continues it does well. Maybe I'll be enticed.

I thought the same about The Midnight Library. I enjoyed the possible lives but the ending was too simplistic. I'm not saying you should reconsider, but The Rage of Dragons has almost no dragons. It's more of a revenge tale, with lots of training and fighting in a military school, with a limited about of warfare. The worldbuilding is original but the speed with which the MC increases his abilities might not sit well with you, and there isn't lot of depth to him. I liked it but haven't read the sequel, yet. I definitely get sucked into adding books quickly then question if they're really my thing.

I'm glad I'm not alone in my assessment. I've always heard amazing things, but I just think it could've done more. Good to know! I do like a slow burn when it comes to characters figuring out their abilities. And I do think the MC having little depth may be a problem for me. That may be why I like chonky books, I like to sit with my characters more than the norm. Thanks for the information!
